Life is short, so you may as well fill it up with all the good stuff, right?

ThisIsTheLife is a website dedicated to recording all of the world’s very best experiences.

You can browse through the existing experiences, rate and review them, and add your own (if you like sharing, that is). You can sign in, or just have a look around.

All the experiences are marked on maps, so you can quite quickly see where exactly they are to be found. Each one also has a link to the ‘nearest experience’ – another fun thing to do somewhere nearby (why stop at the Colosseum, for example, when you can also sip on espresso in the Piazza Navona?)

Apart browsing by location, experiences are also cunningly arranged into interests like adrenaline thrills, top city views and unique travel experiences.

There’s also an upcoming events calendar, with festivals like the Cadiz Carnival or the Delray Beach Garlic Festival.

Oh, and if you’ve ever wanted to know what zorbing is, ThisIsTheLife is the place to find out (I know I wouldn’t mind becoming a Zorbonaut).
